The match on the grounds of Vitosha started evenly, with even the guests trying to press their opponent in the beginning, not allowing them to attack.
In the 6th minute, Vyacheslav Velev delivered a clever pass into the penalty area to Serkan Yusein. The guest's number ten sent a soft cross to the left of the goal, and Dzhuneit Ali headed the ball, but Gennady Ganev made the save.

However, the guests made their mark in the 27th minute. Patrick Luan delivered a low cross from the right, finding Dimitar Tonev in the penalty area.

In the 33rd minute, Krumovgrad launched another good attack down the right wing. The ball reached Renan, who took a shot from a tight angle, but the home team's goalkeeper made the save.
Two minutes before the end of the regular time in the first half, Georgi Rusev received the ball in a scoring position and sent it into the net from close range. However, the goal was disallowed due to an offside, and the hosts went into halftime trailing by a goal.
The second half started in a dreamy way for Krumovgrad. In the 50th minute, Dimitar Tonev was led to the right of Ganev's goal. The youth player of Botev Plovdiv managed to hold the ball between two opponents and pass it back.
